Eco Evo Nature Walk 1

I went to one of my favorite hiking trails for my nature walk. The weather was pretty chilly and windy. It was drizzling as well and I almost slipped and fell a couple of times. I went on the walk right after I finished my last midterm for the week, and it was nice to be able to go outside, unwind, and get some fresh air after being cooped up in my room for days from cramming. Furthermore, it was amazing to see how much the leaves had changed in the span of a couple of days - less than a week ago almost all of the trees were a rich, lush green and now almost half of them have changed to varying shades of red, orange, brown, and yellow. Another interesting thing I noticed from my walk was how abundant fungi were at the trail I went to, yet I never really noticed them whenever I went hiking in the past. Additionally, I noticed that almost all of the fungi (at least the ones I were able to notice) were growing on dead trees. This might be because the decaying tree provides a good source of nutrients for the fungi.
